The Softwex Blog

A year ago we asked ourselves  “How will we reach all states in Sudan?”  it was a hard question to be answered at that time. We took a decision to find an innovative and reliable solution for this tough challenge. In our search journey we thought about and people encouraged us to implement a Mobile payment as a way to reach our lovely customers over the country because it’s simply everywhere but we didn’t do it! In our case It wasn’t very practical and giant telecom companies are not always very cooperative! During our quest to find a solution we found out that the Electronic Banking Services Co. Ltd – EBS already were working on a new online payment solution, we felt lucky because we were one of the first companies which adopted their solution if not the first! We started to work “very hard” with them and many issues arose during the process but finally “We did it!”.

Now everyone over the country can pay online without any complications just by using the same ATM cards.The service is very reliable,secure and easy to use. The question is”How will you  use it to recharge an account in Softwex?”. We will write down some tips here to help you to enjoy the service.

Prepare your ATM card

First of all, you have to check if your card’s bank is supported in the coverage banks list if you find it then generate a iPIN (internet Personal Identification Number) for your ATM card in any ATM machine for one time to do that follow these steps :

1. Insert your ATM card into the machine.
2. Enter your PIN.
3. Go to "Other Services" then choose "Change PIN".
